Growth is addictive. A company that doubles sales each ten years and threefold earnings is a good return and cash cow for your portfolio if you have not overpaid your investment.

Google (GOOG, Financial), Facebook (FB, Financial) and other techies are good growth stocks with deep values, but they are definitely too expensive to make a good return. If not, I am wrong and they boost sales by a higher rate but that's speculation and not investing.

I've released an article about growth stocks with a smaller market capitalization that have doubled sales over the recent decade.

I wrote this article, inspired by a Chinese couple that bought some shares of Apple (AAPL, Financial) in the 90's and made a profit on its initial investment of $276,600. That's really great. Long-term investing brings huge money into your pocket.

Today I would like to introduce those dividend stocks that have outperformed the most of the listed stocks by fundamental growth ratios. They have tenfold their sales within the past decade. It is great? Sure it is!
